Definitions
- Disclosed herein is an advantageous way to connect electronics equipment for instance to a mobile station via a standardised interface for short-range wireless data communication, and a data communication device connected to this standardised interface.
- PC Card is an expansion card with an interface to the electronic device, such as a computer, which interface is defined by the PCMCIA standard (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association).
- PCMCIA Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
- an expansion card containing a transmitter/receiver of a GSM mobile station is used for data communication in order to connect the electronic device to the GSM network.
- the use of the application requires pre-installed software in the electronic device.
- LPRF low power radio frequency
- short-range radio frequency link which replaces a connection cable between electronic devices, and which is defined at least by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.
- LPRF low power radio frequency
- the link uses frequency hopping and a time divided duplex connection.
- a problem in known devices is that they require identification of the expansion card and co-operation in the electronic device.
- An electronic device connecting a mobile station to a cellular radio network requires special software for the data communication link and a sufficient processor capacity.
- the object of the invention is to present a new method for realising the data communication between electronic devices and a wireless device, and a data communication device which can be connected to a general purpose expansion card interface.
- the data communication device is particularly suited for electronic devices having insufficient processor capacity for the functions required by a data communication network. Further the use of the data communication device does not require preparations in the device to be connected, such as particular software for the data communication.
- the invention relates to a method for wireless data communication between a wireless device, which comprises means for short-range data communication, and an electronic device.
- the method comprises the following method steps:
- the invention relates also to a data communication device for wireless data communication between a wireless device, which has means for a short-range data link, and an electronic device.
- the data communication device comprises
- a particular memory card which is mounted in a general purpose expansion memory location of a separate electronic device, such as a digital camera, and which contains a data communication feature for transmitting the memory contents to a wireless device.
- a general purpose expansion memory location of this kind is defined for instance in the ATA (Attachment Interface) specification.
- Expansion cards containing memory which can be written and read are called Compact Flash, in accordance with the small-sized cards generally containing Flash EEPROM memory.
- the data communication utilises for instance a short-range radio frequency LPRF link.
- the memory card is also suitable for instance for a personal digital assistant (PDA), where the entered data can be stored in the expansion memory. Due to the duplex characteristic of the expansion memory the data can be also transmitted at a radio frequency to a wireless device, or generally to an LPRF device.
- the data communication characteristics of the wireless device are available for transmitting the data forward.
- a data communication device is based on the use of a virtual duplex memory.
- the data communication device comprises memory, a short-range radio frequency link unit, and control logic.
- the memory is for instance Flash memory, RAM (Random Access Memory) or RAM memory with battery back-up.
- the data communication device is used as ordinary expansion memory, but the data can be read and written also by an external device, such as by a mobile station using a short-range radio frequency link.
- the data communication is most preferably started automatically so that it is triggered by the storing of new data, but transmission is also possible so that it is activated by an external device.
- the data communication according to the invention is suitable particularly for the transmission of digital pictures between a mobile station, such as a communicator or a smart phone, and a digital camera, but also for the transmission of data, such as the contents of a calendar, between a personal digital notebook or a portable computer and a mobile station.
- An advantage of the invention is that the data communication device fits in a general purpose expansion memory location, whereby the electronic device, such as a camera, requires no hardware changes and also no software changes for the data communication.
- a general purpose expansion memory location is common in digital cameras, but the I/O ports (Input/Output) actually intended for data communication are not.
- the method according to the invention enables the transmission of pictures to a separate device also from a camera which does not contain facilities for the transmission of pictures.
- Another advantage of the invention is the wireless data communication in connection with a device having a processor capacity which is insufficient in order to realise the functions required for wireless data communication.
- a further advantage of the invention is the extra memory which the data communication device provides to the electronic device in addition to the data communication characteristics.

- the memory of the data communication unit is allocated to the LPRF link and the data transmission to the mobile station is started.
- no information is conveyed to the camera about the operation, because from the viewpoint of the camera the data communication unit is only an expansion memory.

The sections can be used both for normal traffic and for short-range data communication. Such mobile stations operating on two frequency bands are generally known in GSM systems.
- the camera has a data communication unit according to the invention, and when a picture is stored in the camera it causes the transmission of the picture to another electronic device.
